Nanoscale materials did not get a nobel prize since the bucky balls got it in 1996. I feel like it is time for some nano something gets the prize. It will be hard since there's not a trio or less that invented this field but I still think it's doable.

But I think some others will get it if nano is awarded (though mesoporous is perfectly nanoscale). I've done a Web of Science search on who published most in nano (in the US) and I selected the following:

Well, funny thing...you forgot the guy who started the nano field : Sumio Iijima from NEC ! He is the discoverer of the nanotubes back in 90s... On another note, maybe some "energy guys" should get it this time : Honda and Fujishima perhaps?
